SUMMARY:Create a Historical Cemetery Tour with Augmented Reality
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Cost | Free \nEvent Description | Augmented reality is a live direct view of a physical\, real-world environment whose elements are “augmented” by computer-generated input such as sound\, video\, or graphics.\n \nThis workshop will explore the integration of augmented reality technology into instruction through hands-on practice. In teams\, participants will create a historical tour of Allegheny Cemetery\, utilizing augmented reality technology to tell about the lives of those interred in this famous cemetery. \nWith the final product\, participants will be able to point their phone at a headstone or landmark\, triggering pictures\, narration\, stories and more. Teachers will conclude by exploring ways to support students in creating similar projects in their school and communities. \nBackground | According to their website\, “Allegheny Cemetery has been the choice of more than 124\,000 people as their final resting place. Some had worldwide fame\, others were known throughout Pittsburgh. But most were known only by the friends and family who loved them and wanted the assurance that they would be memorialized in the most caring\, dignified\, and respectful manner possible. Together\, they make up the Allegheny Cemetery family.” \n \nNotable interments include: \n\nEbenezer Denny (1761–1822)\, first mayor of Pittsburgh\, American Revolutionary War veteran\nJohn Baptiste Ford (1811–1903)\, industrialist\, founder of PPG Industries and Ford City\, Pennsylvania\nStephen Foster (1826–1864)\, songwriter\nJosh Gibson (1911–1947)\, baseball great of the Negro Leagues\nThomas Mellon (1813–1908)\, founder of Mellon Bank\nGeneral James S.
